Artificial Angkor Wat head.
I loved making this head recently in the giant petshop I talked about in a previous post. It is made from EPS carved with a chainsaw and then shot with a render (shotcrete) the render was then carved to the final finish. The colours are an acid stain and acrylic wash with hand painted lichens expertly done by Susy V. The height, which you cannot tell too well by the photo is about 2.8m.

Coral display for small reef fishes.
Recently completed, is a small project at The Hancock Natural History Museum, Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, UK for IAT. The museum is undergoing a multi-million pound re-fit and is due to open in May ‘09. We provided hand carved rockwork and coral effect theming for twelve aquariums and vivariums.
Above, you can see a coral reef tank complete with artificial coral inserts. Also on the agenda were displays for bearded dragons, axoltls, dab lizards, horseshoe crabs, cuttlefish, royal pythons, green tree pythons, corn snakes and desert hairy scorpions.
